Hypovolemic Shock also known as hemorrhagic shock is a medical condition resulting from a decreased blood
volume caused by blood loss, which leads to reduced cardiac output and inadequate tissue perfusion. Common causes include internal or external bleeding, extensive burns,
vomiting, profuse sweating, and diarrhea. Hypovolemic Shock also often occurs after trauma, GI bleeding, or rupture of organs or aneurysms. The symptoms is dependent on the severity of fluid or blood loss. However, all symptoms of shock are life-threatening and must be given medical treatment
immediately. The prognosis is dependent on the degree of volume loss. Nursing care for patients with Hypovolemic Shock focuses on assisting with treatment aimed at the cause of the shock and restoring intravascular volume. Here are four nursing care plans and

What is the most important consideration when caring for a geriatric trauma patient?Monitoring — Particularly in older trauma patients, who may not manifest obvious signs of injury, close monitoring is essential. Monitoring should include serial examinations, including vital signs, mental status, and reassessment of any areas of concern.
Why is a measure of serum lactate obtained in the initial assessment of trauma patient?Patients who have experienced trauma usually develop hypovolemic shock, which determines different levels of tissue hypoperfusion. The determination of lactate levels has been used as a reliable biomarker in the assessment of the magnitude of hypoperfusion.
What is the key to a high performance trauma team?Four attributes were identified to be of greatest value for trauma team members: engagement, efficiency, experience and collaboration.
